The first issues of Worn Magazine are on their way! Copies of Worn Magazine will be available for the first time at the ReadySetDC Fashion Show+Party on April 7th at View14. Tickets to the Fashion show part are already sold out, but don’t let that stop you. You can still buy tickets to visit the [...]

As if carved out of giant beets, Miriam’s cowgirl boots got my attention.  Tom Robbins says in Jitterbug Perfume, “the beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer.”  (It’s hard to believe swiss chard is in the same family.)  Maybe these boots have weathered a season or two, but they still burn [...]

Joe was kind enough to stand for a portrait on 14th Street.  Upon Googling “tweed” one discovers Vogue Knitting, who’s featured the designs of blogger and knitwear designer Brooklyn Tweed.  DC is becoming a weavers delight, what with tweed rides and crafty bastards taking over our agendas, but I notice the trend growing more on [...]

In the hardcopy edition of the magazine we interviewed a few members of Restaurant Marvin on 14th Street, including manager Sheldon Scott, who epitomizes its stylish appeal.  From their website, “the creators of Marvin have combined the cafe society of Belgium, with the proud soul of Shaw.”  And yes, Sheldon talks about his glasses during [...]

The Bitter Dose Combo everyone (follow their performance schedule on Twitter).  Who, ironically, performed at Baked & Wired last year.  Now that warmer weather is here, Dupont Circle is the place to look and listen. Or in my case, look, listen and photograph.  Musicians in the Circle usually make a good portrait because they pay [...]

Known for her tutus, Alex is the manger at Baked & Wired in Georgetown.  Their Twitter feed recently posted, “Calling all celiac kids!! We have sample gluten free/vegan cupcakes!! We need your opinions, so come out and get baked!!!” My animal activist vegan friends will be pleased to hear this. Meanwhile, I’ll stick to their [...]

Jon showed up on Connecticut Avenue during a winter downpour without a hat or umbrella (which doesn’t sound so bad after you see Adrian).  Photographing in bad weather is a favorite pastime of mine, but with street portraiture it’s not so easy.  People are reluctant to stand exposed to the elements.  Yet Jon was quite [...]

In the hardcopy magazine one of our writers interviews local artist DECOY.  Before our first of two portrait sessions to accompany the article, I emphasized, “bring the red hoodie.”  Maybe it’s not the urban cosmo she wears so well at openings, but for me it’s a symbol of her painterly lifestyle.  Artist first. Side Note: [...]

Just off Florida Avenue NE you’ll find Union Market, best described by Hayden Wetzel for Capital Community News.  “This is the real farmer’s market in DC – no hydroponic lettuce here, but where else can you get half a hog’s head, or goat tripe, or a very super-large can of chili peppers?” Leslie participated in [...]
